Kusunoki's newest collection of poetry is organized like a social studies syllabus and is based partly on a quote from the Guardian that states "...poetry is the new journalism." Kusunoki reflects on major events like the killings of Philando Castille and George Floyd, and on a more personal level, the death of his father. Keeping with the tradition of the teacher including the work of proteges, Kusunoki has included poems by some of his former students.
